FALSE POSITIVE? Steganos Security Suite 6 detected as AutoSearch

G

Guest

Hi. I did a scan last night using MS AntiSpyware, and to my horror it
detected AutoSearch in my system. Upon further inspection, I noticed the
culprit seemed to be my copy of Steganos Security Suite 6.

This looks like a false positive to me because I do not encounter any
abnormality in surfing the web using IE.

Thanks!
